@cmehere.bsky.social thank you!

Another hi light I noticed today was this daffodil, Rip van winkle, the first one to open, but shows promise ♥️. #GardensHouse @gardenshour.bsky.social

Here's another portrait I painted this afternoon. #mypaintinglife

The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any. - Alice Walker Pic of the day #photography

This is Wiley. He has never seen snow before and wants to make sure he gets a real good look at it. For science. 12/10 (IG: smileywileydog)

This anemone is new to us this year, lovely, takes ages to open, flowers for a few days and then it’s gone, worth it for the colour. #Gardenshour @gardenshour.bsky.social

A10b Intellectual property in the AI era is less about fences and more about governance. Code, prompts, style, likeness, data — all blur. The winners won’t rely on one doctrine. They’ll combine law, contracts, tech controls and culture to protect what matters. #DigiBlogChat

A9 Deleting an entire model may be disproportionate. Courts could require “machine unlearning,” dataset removal, damages or licensing instead. The remedy should fit the harm. AI law will likely evolve toward surgical fixes, not digital death penalties. #DigiBlogChat

A10. Understandably emotive. It crosses the line when it achieves a level of commercial substitutability in place of a real person and their attributes. Key Takeaway: Parody is protected; replacement is a lawsuit waiting to happen. #DigiBlogChat

A9 #DigiBlogChat I'd bet that, as with humans, AI models find it harder to unlearn than to learn.

A10a A synthetic influencer crosses the line when it causes consumer confusion or exploits likeness rights. In cases involving publicity rights, courts often ask: Would a reasonable person think this is endorsed? Parody has room. Deception does not. #DigiBlogChat

A8 A complex prompt can qualify as a trade secret if it provides economic value and stays confidential. Once shared publicly, protection fades. Think of it like a secret recipe: value comes from controlled access, not the idea alone. #DigiBlogChat

Q10. Digital Twins vs. Fair Use: At what point does an AI-generated "synthetic influencer" that mimics a celebrity's cadence and personality cross the line from parody/homage into IP theft? #DigiBlogChat

Q5. Contractual Moats: Should "Terms of Service" agreements become the primary tool for IP protection, effectively replacing Copyright law through private contract? #DigiBlogChat

A4 Trade secrets survive only if you guard them. If an employee pastes confidential material into a public LLM, protection may collapse. Courts look at “reasonable steps” to maintain secrecy. Clear AI-use policies are now part of IP hygiene. #DigiBlogChat

A6 #DigiBlogChat Well, given that one's voice should be protected, then presumably that applies to one's writing "voice" too! #DigiBlogChat

Brazilian mathematician Marília Chaves Peixoto was born 106 years ago today. She was the first Brazilian woman to earn a PhD in math, the 1st to be inducted into the Brazilian Academy of Sciences and was, during her short life, an important researcher on structural stability. #WomenInSTEM #MathSky

A4. I believe that an organization’s IP is still a trade secret. However, the wronged party might need to ask for arbitration in such cases. www.wipo.int/en/web/about... #DigiBlogChat

A4. Jurisdiction requires "reasonable efforts" to maintain secrecy to support that something can be protected as a Trade Secret. If employees can interact with public LLMs that could be perceived as "waiving" protective requirements. Enterprise agreements with system vendors are key. #DigiBlogChat

Q4. The Employee Prompt Leak: Is an organisation’s IP still a "Trade Secret" if an employee feeds it into a LLM to summarise a document? At what point is legal protection "waived"? #DigiBlogChat

Q3. Proof of Provenance: Will the future of IP rely less on government registries and more on decentralized ledgers (Blockchain) to provide a time-stamped, immutable "birth certificate" for every digital asset? #DigiBlogChat

Q2. Adversarial Poisoning: Is it ethically or legally permissible to embed "data poisoning" (like Nightshade or Glaze) into your IP to intentionally break any AI model that scrapes it without a license? #DigiBlogChat

A2 Data poisoning tools like Nightshade or Glaze flip power dynamic but raise legal risk. Intentionally degrading a model could trigger claims under computer misuse or anti-circumvention laws. Defensive tech is smart. Sabotage may not be. Courts will test this soon. #DigiBlogChat

A1. Protecting IP requires Zero Knowledge Proofs to add "noise" to outputs and confuses the pattern-matching of a "black-box" model but still allows for humans to adapt to results. The key is surely that static logic is vulnerable but verifiable, randomised computation can shield IP. #DigiBlogChat

A2. Sounds like poetic justice but I doubt there is any protection in law for damages. Simply a bad idea #DigiBlogChat

As AI models become more capable of scraping data, bypassing paywalls, & generating non-infringing "inspired" copies, traditional frameworks of copyright & patent law are being pushed to limits. #DigiBlogChat

Protecting Intellectual Property (IP) in 2026 requires a shift from static legal filings to "active defense" strategies. #DigiBlogChat

A1. One approach to protect proprietary software logic is to require a physical connection, such as a dongle for anyone by whom the software is used. Another is to use a SaaS model. #DigiBlogChat

Q1. The "Clean Room" Threat: How can you protect proprietary software logic when LLMs can perform "black-box" reverse engineering—observing an application's inputs and outputs to recreate the underlying code without seeing the source? #DigiBlogChat

Almost daffodil season! #StDavids #Spring

Please support the petition against the planned #closure of #Archaeology at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. Archaeology has been a part of Humboldt-Universität academic tradition for almost 200 years, so closing it would break a long-standing research tradition weact.campact.de/petitions/sc...
